Photosmart Premium Fax squealing noise

Hello,
I have a new Photosmart Premium Fax C309a.  It seems that some time after a phone call the printer emits a low volume, high pitched squealing noise.  Activating the printer by pressing a button or lifting the cover make the noise immediately stop.
Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Doug

Anybody?

  • HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer ( C309a) - won't turn on

    Greetings everyone, I am hoping someone is able to help me.  Whenever I plug in my Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-one printer (C309a) it doesn't power up even though  the green light on the adapter is on. Has anyone had a similar issue?  Does anyone know how to rectify this problem?
    Thanking you in advance.

    Hi lmd2012,
    I am linking the troubleshooting guide for the problem you are having.  Click Here 
    Sometimes, I have been able to resolve power problems by moving the power connection from one working outlet to another working outlet.  Be sure to plug the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector, power strip or battery backup).

  • Use of hp Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-In-One C410 Series Printer On Second Computer

    I have recently purchased new hp Pavilion dv5 laptop and photosmart C410 printer.  Have loaded printer software onto computer and it works fine.  Both of these are running in a wireless network.  I would like to hook a second laptop that is running Vista to the new printer on a wireless basis also.  The second laptop needs to print only, don't have to print photos, scan or copy.
    Do I need to buy or download software to do this?
    This question was solved.

    Hello,
    Just make sure the new compuuter is in the same network as your printer and install the Vista software either from the cd (if it says Vista on the disk) or download it HERE. And normally it should work fine.

  • HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer-C309a-new black ink cartridge will not print

    i just installed a new black ink cartridge (manufactured by HP) when print quality became poor in the middle of a job.  it completed the job fine, but when i have tried to print subsequently, only those parts of the document that are in color/greyscale will print.  the black is simply absent from the document.  the supply level is showing as fine and all diagnostics indicate there is no probem.  i have not received any error messages.  i have tried turning the printer on/off.  i have tried cleaning the printheads.  i have tried uninstalling & reinstalling the cartridge.  i do not have any additional black cartridges to try to see if that will solve the problem, but as noted above, it did work initially.  i am just printing to regular plain white printer paper.  i have tried all the relevant steps in the HP troubleshooting document for poor print quality posted elsewhere on this page.  nothing has worked!  someone else's post mentioned resetting the printer, but did not say how it was done.  any ideas on a solution??? thanks!

    To reset the printer, follow these steps:
    While the power is on, remove the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then connect the power cord to the back of the printer, then turn the unit on. That will complete a power reset.
    Now, missing black during printing can be a result of a couple of things. If it is only missing say when printing from Word, then the print settings within Word are set to grayscale only (or something similar) which would exclude the black cartridge. If it is from all programs, then it is either the main print settings set to grayscale only, or the printhead/cartridge is clogged up/dirty. If it is not the print settings, then create a print quality report and follow the steps in this document:

  • PhotoSmart Premium fax C309 won't print black ink

    Windows Xp series 2. Had been refilling ink cartriges when problem first occured. Installed two new black ink cartriges and still wouldn't print black ink. Cleaned print heads several times using the menu on the printer. Still did not correct the problem. Color is fine. Did a print test report and all color ink shows fine but no black. Alignment is fine. Do I need a new print head? Printer only gets occasional use.

    Hi there blackcat61,
    This article covers print quality issues like missing colors and others. Give the steps listed under your operating system a shot and let us know if it helps.
    Best of Luck!

  • Photosmart premium fax c309 series printer t

    I have 2 macs and a Dell that have been running on an airport extreme that I have been using for almost 10 years.   The airport quit and I connected another one.  Everything works fine on it but the printer,  it  cannot find it or connect to it.  I even connected the two with ethernet.  Still won't connect.   How do I get my printer back on the net?

    What model is the Airport?
    Is the wireless network using Wireless N or Wireless G or mixed?  I recommend using Wireless G as it is the most compatible forms of the wireless standard.  
    Do you know what channel the wireless on the Airport is set on?  I recommend using channel 1 or channel 11 to reduce interference.
    On the printer, go to Setup>Network>Wireless Test Report.  What were the results of the test?

    OK, great, thanks.  Different printers have different instructions.

  • HP photosmart premium fax C309a scanner problem

    Wireless printer works, but when I try to use the scanner to attach to an email, it says to go to computer first.  I go on my wireless laptop and it wants a passcode for the scanner, but I don't have one.  It won't allow me to make one.  It doesn't seem to recognize the printer is also a scanner.

    Hello @laugh5 ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having problems scanning to email with your C309a.
    I would like to help.
    It seems like something has gone wrong with the software.
    Try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    If that does not fix the issue, have you tried an uninstall then reinstall?

  • Do you have software for mac os 10.4 for the hp photosmart premium?

    Is there software for mac os 10.4 for the hp photosmart premium?

    That all depends on which photosmart premium you are talking about. There is the photosmart premium all in one, and photosmart premium fax all in one which have 10.4 software. The identifier numbers on them would be c309g, and c309a.
    If however you have the newer model, the photosmart premium e-all in one, or premium fax e-all in one, there is no 10.4 software. These models are the c410a, and the c310.
    Generally the identifier number is under the lid you open to change the inks.

  • C309a Photosmart Premium All-in-one keeps chiming repeatedly.

    Product:  HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one Fax C309a
    Lately, whenever we turn the printer on, it chimes repeatedly.  In the past, it's only just chimed once to confirm it's on.  It would also chime whenever it finished printing something.  However... now it does it 3-5 times for each activity... which is rather odd an annoying.  The only thing I can see that it's possibly related to is the black ink showing a 'lower level' of ink.  It's not even dry.  But, I think it's rather over-kill for the prolific chiming to be related to a half-empty ink cartridge. 
    I went ahead and turned off the sound effects volume on the printer itself, for the meantime anyway.  But, does anyone else know what's going on, or do they know why it would do that? 

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @mrsddavis ,
    I read your post about the troubles you're having with the printer telling you to "remove a USB device", when you do not have a USB device plugged into the unit. I have a couple suggestions that I hope will help you. You may have tried all of the steps to my first idea, if so move on to the second one. Also, the second step will be in a private message to you, as it cannot be posted publicly.  In regards to the ADF not working, let me know what the problem is, for example, will it pull in paper and then jam, or will it not pull paper in at all? Let me know so I can research that problem for you.
    If you are not sure how to check your forum messages this post, has instructions.
    Power reset:
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 30 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Good luck, I hope this helps

  • Owned HP Photosmart Premium C310 since 2011-01-03. Installed 5 new HP cartridges. Now it won't print

    We bought the HP Photosmart Premium C310 on 2011-01-03. On April 6, I had to install all 5 new HP ink cartridges. Now it won't print at all. It accepts the "Print" command, makes noises as if it is printing, pulls the paper through slowly while it "pretends" to be printing, but the page comes out with NO INK on it. I have gone through all the many, many "self-help" solutions HP offers, on the printer screen itself, through the computer desktop "HP Solution Center," and also online at HP.com. It is still in warranty, so I am thinking I should just take it back to Best Buy and tell them to repair it.  I'd really like to get it working. Any suggestions?
    Thank you,

    In the link given by 007Ohmss be sure to update the firmware as described in step 4:
    Step four: Install a firmware upgrade
    Check for a firmware upgrade that might help solve the problem:
    On the product control panel, touch the Setup icon ( ).
    Touch Web .
    Touch Product Updates .
    Touch Check for Product Updates .
    Touch Yes to update. The update might take 10 to 20 minutes. Do not turn off the printer until the update is complete. The printer will shut down and start back up automatically.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 won't recognize HP Photosmart Premium C410

    My HP Photosmart Premium C410 works with all my applications except Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - which is great for an imaging program!!  The printer is defintely selected as default.  However, there are two options avilable on the "print" page of PSE and they are very similar - perhaps indicating an issue.  The first on the drop-down is "HP Photosmart Prem C410 series fax", while the second (which I have selected) is "HP Photosmart prem C410 series".  Every time I try to print from PSE, it starts up the fax process.....!!  Anyone any ideas - all advice gratefully received.

    Kellerrolf,
    Please try to rename the "HP Photosmart Premium C410 series Fax"  to "PS C410 Fax". You can change it by:
    Open "Printers"
    Right click the HP Photosmart Premium C410 series Fax and selecting rename
    If it still is loading the fax when you printer there are few more steps that we can try.
